Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Jeskai artifact build led by Optimus Prime, Hero. It uses Vehicles, cost-reducers, and token generators to establish a resilient board presence. By casting the commander for its alternate More Than Meets the Eye cost, the deck fields Optimus Prime, Autobot Leader as a 6/8 trampling living metal threat that steadily bolsters the team. Synergistic drivers like Astor, Bearer of Blades, Kotori, Pilot Prodigy, and Shorikai, Genesis Engine make crewing large Vehicles effortless while maintaining steady card advantage. Combat multipliers such as Blade Historian, Karlach, Fury of Avernus, and Cyberdrive Awakener scale board power rapidly into lethal attacks. Inherent vehicle resilience and Optimus Prime's recursive death trigger provide strong protection against conventional creature sweepers, allowing the deck to close games consistently around Turn 8.
